When most people think of the history of firearms, they think of the weapons themselves. But a gun is useless without its ammunition, which has a long and storied history in the United States and beyond.

While the use of gunpowder dates back to early tenth-century China, ammo in the U.S. started with the Springfield Armory – the primary arsenal during the American Revolutionary War, scouted and approved by George Washington himself in 1777. This government armory, and others throughout the 19th century, became a hub for invention and development. But what about commercial ammunition brands?

In 1816, Eliaphalet Remington founded what is now the oldest manufacturer of firearms in the United States. What began as a business smithing rifle barrels, transformed into an iconic gun brand that is the only company in the nation to produce both firearms and ammunition domestically. It is also the largest producer of rifles and shotguns in the United States, as well as the largest developer and adopter of cartridges in the world.

While there are plenty of other American-made brands like Hornady, Federal and Winchester – there are also international ammunition manufacturers that have been arming people for centuries. Italy’s Giulio Fiocchi Enterprise began manufacturing sporting ammo in 1877, and is now known for their world-class shotgun ammunition and NATO specification ammo for military use. Tula was started in Russia around the same time. In 1880, Tsar Alexander II approved its opening with a contract for the first seven years. It’s now known for its quality ammunition and economical prices. Other ammo companies around the world include Wolf in Russia, Magtech in Brazil and Sellier & Bellot in Prague.

The ammo shoots perfectly out of my picky 1911. I had zero malfunctions out of 500 rounds shot. Fiocchi ammo gave me an average of one malfunction / 50 rounds shot. My only gripes are that the bullets look a little dirty, which of course had no issue with performance. And mostly the only thing I didn't like was that the tray the bullets come in is made out of Styrofoam so it leaves little foam bits all over the counter at the range....
All in all I would buy again.

Ive been shooting fiocchi 223 amd 9mm for a couple years solely now, never have had a malfunction, bad primer, or defaced/damaged round. Shoots great, burns well, and such a good price for what you get.

Have run 220 rounds through my Original Henry, flawless performance. Like that they are made in USA.
